Paul, your name even appeared in the 2004 New York Times ad for Firefox. Firefox is arguably more important now than it was back then, but you don’t seem to be endorsing/promoting Firefox these days. You have a real platform and we need your voice! Yes, Chromium is open source but Google ultimately controls what happens in Chromium, it’s Google employees that make the decisions and that’s not good

Firefox works well 99.99 percent of the time, I like it, and recommend it. Firefox's built in Reader View is sweet. I also like Firefox's: Cross platform support, syncing, RSS feeds as bookmarks, privacy settings, multiple profile capabilities, XML viewer, strong extension ecosystem, etc.</em></blockquote><blockquote><em>It does seem that developers mostly use and test with Chrome when developing SaaS and enterprise websites and thus most reliable results tend to come with Chrome. In a perfect world developers would test against all major browsers but it simply doesn't happen.</em></blockquote><blockquote><em>I also like Brave for its privacy/security focus but built in ad blockers can often break website functionality. A lot of the websites I visit still work well with all shields up and I can modify the shields per site but I am a nerd that way. I only suggest Brave to those who are savvy, understand technology, and patient. </em></blockquote><p><br></p>

<blockquote><em><a href="#401693">In reply to paul-thurrott:</a></em></blockquote><p>recently I switched to Firefox and speed is OK in recent builds. Nearly as good responsiveness as Edge/Chrome. Compatibility is better than Edge, battery life depends on usage patterns, on low end PCs helps to limit the number of content processes to 2 (in standard options). </p><p>I tried Chrome and it is worse for me than Firefox by a huge margin.</p>

<p>I have recently tried to use Firefox both on desktop and mobile and while there are some drawbacks and "manual tuning" – for example tuning smooth scroll's parameters on desktop and disabling smooth scroll on touchpad (paradoxically), overall experience is very good and now I use it for majority of browsing. I still keep Edge for some web work, though. But sure, for me Firefox is better than Chrome.</p>
